Miami by sky

I've been very negligent on posting.... my bad.

So to update on something cool we did last weekend....

It's well known that I get lost everywhere I go- I'm terrible at directions, and never quite know where I'm going. I've had an OK time getting around Miami, but that's 100% due to the fact that I bought a GPS before I left Tallahassee. Anyway, for our 2 year anniversary, Jon decided to take me on a helicopter ride over Miami so I could see where everything is in relationship to everything else... it was really cool. We were in the air for 45 minutes, and saw a whole bunch of cool Miami landmarks, including coming super close to our apartment.

We're in the shorter building to the right of the tower, in the left hand corner of that building.













Although the weather was pretty crummy, it was still a cool view. I've put a few pictures from the trip below... enjoy!

The verdict is in- Geico agrees with me- South Florida drivers are the worst!

I got a great email from my insurance company, State Farm, a few weeks ago letting me know about the change in coverage that would be involved in me moving to Miami. She sent me the new premium for my coverage and it had DOUBLED. Yay, just what I need.

Jon recently signed up with Geico, so I called them and got a new quote. Still expensive, but cheaper than State Farm. It was a bit of a time sensitive thing for me, seeing as though my coverage with State Farm ended today. Also, Jon can jump on my policy (his doesn't actually start until October) and we'll both save 25%. So thanks to their cute and clever commercials, they were the first ones I called.

In other news, I have found two more amazingly funny blogs to read- failblog and LOLDogs. If you look on the top of LOLDogs, there is a line of links to equally funny stuff, like LOL News and Politicians. It has, indeed been proven that I am easily amused... but come on- who wouldn't think this is funny:













And even funnier, in relation to the beginning of my post:
